The White House has formally laid out its request to Congress for more than $105b in essentially wartime funding. About $75B of that would go to Israel and Ukraine while the remainder would go to a various list of sources.
A breakdown of the costs include:
- $60 billion for providing military arms to Ukraine.
- $14 billion for army and security assistance to Israel.
- $10 billion for emergency humanitarian assistance for both wars.
- $14 billion for US border security.
- $7 billion for aid to Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region to counter China’s threats.
The numbers were first reported by The New York Times.
